WSJ: Huawei Watch will not arrive in China until 2016

According to a report in The Wall Street Journal, the Huawei Watch will not launch in China until next year. The Android Wear device is still set to debut in the United States and Europe in the coming months.

Citing Huawei’s manager for wearable devices Yang Yong, WSJ reports that issues with the implementation of Android Wear will prevent the device from hitting the shelves on time in its homeland. Google Services do not function in China, so we reckon that their absence sits behind Huawei’s development troubles.

Huawei will reportedly utilize the delay in improving the design of its smartwatch. The latter will be made slimmer and with even more classical appearance.

The Huawei Watch debuted during MWC in Barcelona and is arguably the best looking Android Wear device to date. It specs include Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 SoC, 512MB of RAM, 4GB of built-in memory, and 1.4” AMOLED display with a resolution of 400 x 400 pixels.
